In a manner that is all too familiar NYFW has come and gone, but not before leaving its lingering artistic expressions. Proenza Schouler, Delpozo, and Marc Jacobs offered a renewal of faith in the idea that ready to wear doesn’t have to come off that way!

The guys at Proenza Schouler presented silhouettes that were fun, of a sophisticated color palette, topped with tailoring and layering that would make any woman the envy of any room.

Delpozo continues to be a constant favorite. Josep Font is a master at fabricating rigid silhouettes, only to then manipulate them in a way that resolves itself as whimsy and ethereal. The fashion world ought to start tooting the horns on the Josep Font for the Christian Dior train today! He’d be a great fit.

Monsieur Marc Jacobs. The man one counts on for delivering the high paced, exaggerated, industrious works of a Parisian fashion show did it this season without the extra props. A clean white runway was the stage for a hybrid of Gothic, mysterious seductresses. God, who is this woman? Where can we meet her Marc?

This latest Exhibit, organized by the Costume Institute is about to open to the public at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Commencing in May, the exhibition will showcase the different ways in which Chinese culture influences fashion design: a long standing relationship exists between the two subjects. This could not be taking place at a worst time (currently taking a course that heavily examines oriental influence in fashion design), since I cannot witness it in person. Inspirations for pieces that will be on display range from Chinese costume, art, film and the occasional porcelain. A curated selection ranging from the 1920’s Paul Poiret, to Yves Saint Laurent and Roberto Cavalli are justa sample of what will be on display . Enthusiasts should be sure to indulge (Since us North of the border won’t be able to). The Exhibit will run Until August 16, 2015.

I’m a forever a sucker for evening wear and couture. There’s always a overload of fantasy quality to that type of work, and I really don’t mind taking a trip down that road one to often! So what if I’m a dreamer? Thank you Marchesa.

I would smack anyone who dares to regard the latest collection of Michael Kors as anything less than one of the best, most memorable, and undoubtedly one of the most innovative collections this season. I found myself torn, I felt elements and inspiration from natural disasters more specifically the recent hurricane sandy that ravaged New York city. Camouflage, rubberized garments, and safety orange were key ingredients in this latest showing. At the same time I found myself not relating the looks solely to the idea of combating natural disasters but to something futuristic like Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss in the film “The Matrix”. The eye ware and clean hair and make up reeled me in even more towards that idea. To balance the rubber and leather Michael showcased an array of ribbed sweaters, immaculately tailored coats, and fur that looked even more decadent when paired with the more structured silhouettes. It’s always a pleasure to see Karlie Kloss strut her stuff and at Kors she closed the show in a vibrant jewel encrusted mini with a black train that was the perfect ending to another brilliant showing by America’s creme de la creme of sportswear.

The collections by Mara Hoffman are always a pleasure for me to view. The hardcore bohemian aesthetic hits cultural nerves embedded deep within me. It’s always interesting to see what she brings to the fall table considering her line is generally associated with spring, resort, and swimwear. It’s always a treat having that one designer who presents a bold and colorful collection for the cold months and it actually translate into positive feedback from the consumer. Hoffman’s innate ability to conjure prints is unbelievable, what’s even more impressive is when she is able to infuse Rich knits, and fabulous coats with her boho chic point of view.

Marc Jacobs is a representation of timeless cool and his collections always triggered the same instinctual vibe. Tonight the girls were not only funky but also sexy. The frizzed hair do’s and make up easily reinforced the idea of the effortless attitude the Marc Jacobs woman posses. The luggage is always a hit with me! Male looks showcased the ideal arm candy of the Jacob’s woman.
